Ah... the nods continued as Gevrik spoke, and the metaphorical cogs began whurrrrring into action in Jake's brain as he understood what the man was saying. It... didn't bother him, either. Only he didn't wonder why the man hadn't said that like... at the feast. But whatevs. The guy probably had his own reasons.

Then, he smiled. For someone unsure of his general future, just getting some contact about a temporary arrangement here was good for him. Jake already felt like he owed Ikenna Gevrik, even just from this. "That would definitely work for me, Mr. Gevrik. It's fantastic... thank you."

Heck yes!

Jake let his eyes linger on the sealed letter for a moment before glancing to the man's face again. "I won't keep you for much longer, sir. Just one more thing... my first question? You said you'd come back to it."

Meaning he didn't feel like he was prying.
The smile and the nod were what Ikenna had been waiting for and, now that he had them, he ran his finger along the edge of the envelope thoughtfully. Sensing Jake's lingering look, Gevrik swiftly tucked the owl post away into an inside pocket of his suit.

For later.

"Yes, the first question." Ikenna smiled again and settled back into his seat. "You asked if I were a legilimens. If I recall correctly...you also gave me your reasons for asking...?"

One of the man's eyebrows twitched, as if that was as close as he could get to fully raising it, and then he continued onward. "To make a long story short, Jake, I will just answer yes to your question."

End.
